With an Early Draft Choice Looming, Who Are Potential Fits With St. Louis?

Before the season started, when I was taking a look at college players that could potentially be future St. Louis Rams, I was thinking of guys more along the lines of Trent Richardson or Jeff Fuller.

Now that the Rams' season looks very bleak, the idea of adding a big name player like Alshon Jeffrey of Justin Blackmon seems all the more likely.

There's still a chance that the Rams make the playoffs, and don't have a high selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, but for now these potential prospects are with the assumption that St. Louis is drafting in the Top-10.

Here's five prospects that the Rams could be looking at this upcoming Spring.

Matt Kalil, OT USC

It's hard to believe that after drafting Jason Smith and Rodger Saffold in the past three seasons that St. Louis could be looking at another offensive lineman.

If they do decide to go that route, Matt Kalil appears to be the hands down best offensive lineman.

Kalil is a 6'7", 300-pound offensive tackle from the University of Southern California.

He started last season for USC, and is starting at tackle for them again this season. This kid is an athletic freak for being his size.

USC has even given him chances to play defensive tackle in the past even though he he was a starter at tackle. By the way, he has come away with a blocked field goal this season against Utah.

The Rams have struggled terribly this season in pass protection. Even though they have already invested a lot into the offensive line, you have to continue to try and improve it to protect your franchise QB.
